Michael designed and made the ring while studying architecture in Cape Town in the late 1990’s; the ring was made for then girlfriend Annelie Koller. The design incorporates the three primary forms; the circle, the square and the triangle.

Many thanks to Bernard Toyk for cutting and polishing the stone and Lance Hawkins for setting it.
